I suspect that there are multiple factors:
* regularity of income
* people being willing to pay less and less for software, making it less and less sustainable for developers
* people complaining that they paid £3.99 last year, so why do they have to pay "again" for the next major release
* grumbling that the developer has not implemented the features that they wanted fast enough
and so on.

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk @Tattooed_Mummy@beige.party your third point reminds me of how Cocoatech responded to complaints when Pathfinder went subscription. They offered a “one time” purchase option for slightly more than the cost of 12mos subscription, but that only got you updates for that mayor version, and there’s a new major version every 12mos 🤨
